I _think_ I had the same problem as you - I don't remember Netscape hanging, exactly, but java just wouldn't work at all - netscape simply opened up a blank spot on the page and gave some error warning that made no sense. Anyway, the way I fixed it was to replace the symbolic link found at /usr/bin/X11/netscape with the following script: #!/bin/sh export MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/lib/netscape exec /usr/lib/netscape/netscape Now before I'd try this, I'd see if doing the following from an xterm results in a netscape that doesn't die on java: export MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/lib/netscape netscape Of course, this all assumes that you've installed netscape using the Debian installer package - if not, the appropriate value for MOZILLA_HOME will be different. <_|_> -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
